My Memories Give-away - Day 7 - Not Just for Scrapbooks

If you have been following along this week, you will see I have been scrapbooking pages of our new pet, Mouse. Mouse is a cat. She is a shelter cat and my organizational-minded hubby started a binder with all of the stuff the shelter and the Spay/neuter clinic sent home with us. He asked if I would make a cover and a title strip for the binder.

I love a challenge and this is what I came up with. I used the sample page from "Rescue Me," on top of a paper background. I used the new "Rip" feature for the "Rescue Me" sample, ripping the left and right edges. I imported the background sample as a photo box, which is why I was able to size it, rip it and shadow it. I used the Word Art function for the title and added a few buttons and a postage stamp shape for the picture backer. I shared it as a .jpeg to print it on cardstock.

The spine insert was created by creating a custom page size. In this case 1.5 x 10.5 inches. This was also printed on cardstock, which made inserting it in the binder spine, so much easier.
You can win a copy of My Memories Suite version 4 - the latest version, which was released the day after Thanksgiving.
